Shillong, June 04: The Chairman of the regional alliance Dr Donkupar Roy today in his statement said that “ I am amused by the views of chief minister Dr Mukul Sangma, a veteran politician, that UDP is in back door alliance with BJP”.
Dr Donkupar also said in the press statement issued today to the media houses said “We believe either in pre-poll alliance or post poll alliance and there is nothing like ‘backdoor or front door alliance’, the chief minister is very desperate after the formation of UDP-HSPDP alliance”.
As everyone knows, they do not have any pre poll alliance with BJP. Why should Dr Mukul Sangma blame regional parties for the rise of the BJP? It is the failure of the Congress party which gave rise to BJP both at the Centre and other states.
Look at example of Assam where many Congress leaders shifted to BJP. Here in Meghalaya too, we are beginning to see the exodus of Congress men to BJP. Even in my Shella constituency, the Congress men are joining BJP.
From Sohra too, the former Congress legislator Dr PW Khongjee joined the BJP. Hence, it is not UDP which is encouraging BJP, but it is because of the failure of the Chief Minister and his party that their members are joining the BJP.
If BJP rises in Meghalaya, it is due to the failure of the CM and his party. In national politics, the Congress failed resulting in BJP forming Government, but in Meghalaya, we hope that the regional alliance will win the 2018 election.
